Tips: If you are like me, tapioca is not something you keep on hand. This was the first time I had used it to cook with. It did give this stew a nice thickness and did not alter the favor. Because I have it in my pantry now, I will look for more recipes to use it in and share them with you when I find a good one. Overall this beef stew was easy to put together and very tasty! I also shared this recipe at Tales From the Fairy Blogmother's What's Cooking Wednesday.
